    The trick is this to have genuinely held opinions without publishing poorly written articles about it. I do that all the time, and I can warmly recommend others to try it, too!

      I think talking about one’s opinions is human nature and it’s pointless to oppose it.

        Calling people who disagree with you misguided when it comes to purely matter of tastes is not just talking about one’s opinion, but is in fact insulting other people for no reason. So fuck the author of this particular article.

          Well, I think it’s funny. I appreciate an author who has style and passion, it keeps me invested. It’s not like anyone’s opinion of the lord of the rings matters, so I couldn’t possibly be offended no matter what I thought of the movies.

        Not every opinion is worth sharing. Even if you do, talking annoys only one person, whereas publishing articles online annoys the whole world.

          I don’t think every article ever published is read by the whole world. I think most of them are read by about as many people as the average Lemmy post

            You do get the difference between talking and publishing though, right? And the fact that not all opinions are worth sharing? The “whole world” was a figure of speech.

              Some of these websites are so simple that publishing an article takes as much effort as posting a Lemmy comment. There used to be a difference, but there isn’t anymore.
